Lord John Russell
Stuart J. Reid, a journalist and the general editor of a series of biographies of Queen Victoria's prime ministers, wrote this life of Lord John Russell for the series in 1895. Reid follows Russell from his childhood in the great Whig family of the Dukes of Bedford through his long parliamentary career: the struggle for the Reform Bill of 1832, which he introduced in the Commons, his years as Home Secretary and as leader of the Whigs, his two terms as prime minister, his rivalry with Palmerston and his work as foreign secretary. Written with access to family papers and recollections, the biography is sympathetic, clear and well informed about Victorian politics. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
